My 428i Gran Coupe has the side M Performance decals. See image below.

I want to change these for something different, but I can't find what I want online.

Does anyone know of any companies that can make custom decals? I want them to be the identical size and shape of the ones in the image, but I don't want the M Performance text. I just want blank black strips. I have seen some on Ebay but they are really cheap and I'm not sure of the quality. I'd rather pay a bit more to get a...

My 640d was a great car, luxurious, economical and fast when required but it was like a reverse tardis – big on the outside but relatively small on the inside.

Am looking for some advice regarding an issue with my 2016 428i Gran Coupe (M Sport Version).

About 3 months ago I had the Bridgestone RFT's changed to Pirelli P Zero RFT's and everything was fine.

However, one evening a few weeks ago I had popped out as usual, but when I got back in the car and started driving home, it all of a sudden felt really loose. When I went over bumps, the back end would jerk to one side.

I took it back to the garage that changed the tyres and asked...

Has anyone only fitted the 'side elements', or fitted the more subtle lip style Spoiler beneath the bumper?

Any photos of what you've done and recommend would be great please?

Since owning my Series 4 BMW, I've made some interior and exterior styling tweaks.

Thanks to this forum and some general online browsing, I've got enough links to different companies for any future mods.

However, I'm now turning my attention to the engine bay. I want to improve the look under the bonnet.

Can anyone suggest any online sites that supply engine dressing parts and accessories?

Many Thanks.]]> 2 Thu, 16 Jan 2025 14:53:00 +0000 https://www.bmwland.org.uk/index.php?threads/atom-mac.5434/ https://www.bmwland.org.uk/index.php?threads/atom-mac.5434/ invalid@example.com (TommyT) TommyT

I just wanted to get your thoughts on upgrading the Brake Discs and Pads on my 428i Gran Coupe (with the M Sport Package).

I'm looking at replacing the OEM Brake Discs with a slotted and drilled set, together with uprated brake pads.

Before anyone asks, no I don't drive aggressively or use my car on a track.

I've done this upgrade before on other performance vehicles I've owned and whilst you do get improved cooling, etc, I like how they look. I'm not generally into performance...

Haven't posted for a while. Just thought I'd share an upgrade I had done recently.

Whilst I like a twin exhaust setup, I wasn't keen on both pipes being on the same side. I couldn't find an off the shelf backbox for my car that would give me what I wanted. So I went for a custom built one from a company called Powerflow. Fortunately, having the M Sport Package as well, meant that I could also buy a new rear valance to suit the new...

Clearly you need the Camera, modual and associated cables.

Is there anything else?

I only want it to read road signs and display into the HUD having said that auto head light dimming would be a bonus.

I've got a question regarding the IDrive Infotainment system. Particular playing music from a connected USB stick.

I managed to find a guide online that states that the tracks are played randomly. The problem is, it doesn't seem to be that intelligent. For instance, if I've got 100 tracks on the USB stick, it would be great if it played all 100 tracks in whatever order before repeating them. However, I find that it repeats the same song two or three times.

Can you change the...

Forced into the near side kerb by a flatbed truck coming the other way. Clipped the kerb.

Will be looking for a mobile repair this weekend!
